James Webb Space Telescope, Little Red Dots

Astronomers solve mystery of "little red dots" spotted by James Webb Space Telescope
Ever since NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was launched, it’s been revealing more about the universe than even most astronomers expected. Some of the data JWST has sent back to Earth have been awe-inspiring, but some of it has been downright confusing or challenging to dominant theories in cosmology.
Webb’s Stunning Discovery: Could These Mysterious “Little Red Dots” Be the Universe’s Earliest Black Holes?
Astronomers compile a large sample of an unusual class of objects in an effort to connect the dots to the early universe. Shortly after NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope began its science operations,
James Webb Space Telescope's 'little red dots' come into focus
A cosmic object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope has flummoxed astronomers. Now, a research team has studied hundreds of these "little red dots" and found clues about their identity.
James Webb Space Telescope sees little red dots feeding black holes: 'This is how you solve a universe-breaking problem'
The James Webb Space Telescope's ancient "little red dot" galaxies have been seen as a sign of "broken cosmology." Feeding supermassive black holes may have come to the rescue.
Webb telescope just solved the 'universe-breaking problem'
The James Webb Space Telescope might not have broken our understanding of the universe, after all. Previously, astronomers used Webb to spot curious, faint, and extremely ancient red dots that they surmised were giant galaxies.
Scientists Studying Webb's 'Little Red Dots' Find New Population of Black Holes
Soon after it came online in 2022, Webb observations revealed a population of tiny red objects dubbed little red dots (LRDs). A new study has compiled and analyzed the largest-ever sample of LRDs, and it noted several striking properties,
